Guest Reviews
- JUNGEUN (10/5): - 위치도 좋고, 집처럼 편안하게 잘 지내다 갑니다.
호스트도 엄청 친절하시고, 과일과 빵, 우유 등도 준비해주셔서 많이 도움됐습니다. 욕실 수압이 좀 낮았는데, 불편할 정도는 아니었습니다.
- Kerry (10/5): Fabulous stay, wonderful host! - We loved everything about our stay in this lovely home in Portree! The location was absolutely perfect—-within 30 minutes drive to nearly everything we wanted to see & do (Fairy Pools, Fairy Glen, Old Man of Storr, etc.), & also an easy walk into the downtown for meals & exploring. The host was so warm, kind & welcoming. Beds were very comfortable and the place was spotless. We would 100% book here again if we are ever so lucky to return to Isle of Skye!
- Mary Jo (10/5): - Janet, our host, was so gracious with her communication before & during our stay.
A cozy & very clean 2 bedroom with all the amenities you would need…a nice sitting area with a big screen tv & electric fire place that kept you toasty warm; everything you would need in a kitchen for a short stay & a lovely bathroom/shower.
Plus, Janet had items for breakfast to make your stay extra special!!
I would recommend this place to anyone!!
- Elena (10/5): -

- Justine (10/5): - L'accueil chaleureux de l'hôte, l'emplacement idéal dans une résidence calme à proximité du centre de Portree, la propreté de l'appartement. Tout était très bien.
- Sina Ö. (10/5): -
- Krisztián (10/5): Fantastic 3 nights in Portree - Janet was very kind. She welcomed and also bid farewell to us, while we haven’t seen her during our stay. She was exactly what you expect from a host.
The house was spacious, located in a quiet street, just a short walk from the centre. The welcome package of sweet goods and drinks were various.
We really liked everything!
- Amy (10/5): Fantastic apartment, great location and welcoming host - Loved the location, so easy to walk into Portree and explore the island. Every detail had been considered by our lovely host - it was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with milk, cereal and bread for breakfast, along with a few snacks. Very warm and friendly welcome - and easy to find, was to park, check in and check out. Couldn’t be better definitely recommend as a top place to stay! Nothing - really perfect and beautiful apartment
- Harper (10/5): Wonderful! - Property was well maintained and had everything we needed travelling as two couples and more. Beds comfortable. Kitchen was perfect for our short stay. Host was welcoming and went out of her way to make the stay a pleasure for us all. Nothing

- Dawn (8/5): Absolutely beautiful little property with private parking and central to everything. Janet is a fabulous host who left - This property was perfect for our two nights in Skye for a 10k. Centrally located in a quiet street with private parking. The only thing I could say I didn’t like was the force of the shower. Could really do with a better shower.
- Luisgarciaamaya (10/5): Excepcional - Todo, Janet super amable, nos explicó todo al respecto del alojamiento, nos dejó para desayunos y baño. La casa está muy bien situada, aparcamiento privado, muy bonita, acogedora, limpia, con calefacción en toda la casa. Si hubiera más puntuación se la daría. Creo que es la mejor estancia en la que hemos estado con diferencia.
- Coralie (8/5): - Janet est super
- Lisa (10/5): Jan is an excellent host of this awesome property. I highly recommend and hope to return one day. - This property is in a safe quiet location with only a very short walk to the town center. A huge storm blew through the highlands while we were there but we were snuggly inside this home and slept right through it. The owner even provided us with supplies (food and candles) in case we were to be stranded there without power for a while, which didn’t happen but she prepared us. So nice!! I don’t have anything bad to say about this property. At all.
- Hannan (10/5): - Very welcoming and comfortable
- John (8/5): -

Good equipment in kitchenette, air fryer,induction plate and microwave
- Julian (10/5): Perfect :) - It was very cozy, we all felt very comfortable and welcome. An extra towel for hands would be nice in the bathroom. Different towel colors would be advantageous if there are several people.
- Valerie (10/5): HOME FROM HOME - The warm friendly welcome from host.
Spotlessly clean.
Cosy and homly feel about the accommodation.
High spec finish in kitchenette, kitchen, and bathroom. There was nothing to dislike.

- Zhang (10/5): 希望在一次来,还能订到Janet的公寓! - 回国已有一周,英国之旅已成回忆,每每想起Portree,第一想到的是Janet和她的温馨、一尘不染如家一般的美丽公寓,公寓地理位置非常好,离Portree广场几百米,在一个非常安静的社区。Janet非常友善和热情,为我们提供了早餐,给予我们很多的帮助,谢谢Janet和她的家人!
- Laurie (10/5): Would love to stay again on day - Janet was a very kind and friendly host. It is a lovely cottage that is well stocked, the welcome basket was perfect.
- MPVERDUN (9/5): Bonne adresse à PORTREE - Nous avons apprécié l’accueil de Janet et ses petites attentions pour le petit déjeuner. Maison très propre et très bien équipée. Proche centre ville. Maison au calme. Belle adresse à PORTREE. Les matelas un peu mous et les couettes un peu petites pour les lits.
- Cheryl (10/5): Pleasant, warm, comfortable and lovely host. - The property was immaculate! Clean as a whistle. Janet was absolutely lovely and left a fabulous basket of goodies that were most appreciated. Thank here were also brochures supplied and maps to that were so helpful.
Unfortunately many places do not supply this. The water pressure was a tad low.

- Tracy (9/5): - Beautiful apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent base for exploring the Isle of Skye. Janet is very kind and provided us with breakfast (bread and jam, cereal and milk, coffee and tea). She also suggested us to see the highland game, which is one of the highlight of my trip.
- Agata (9/5): -
- Milan (10/5): - Klidné místo,parkování u domu. Po příjezdu nás vítala paní domácí.V kuchyni byl připraven košík s ovocem a nějaké sladkosti a v lednici láhev mléka, vody, máslo a marmelády .Ubytování bylo příjemné. Postel pro dva je trochu menší.
- Suzann (10/5): VERY NICE, CLEAN, AND JUST WHAT WE NEEDED TO VISIT SCOTLAND -
- Z (9/5): Superb - The host Janet is very kind and helpful. We arrived late and she made sure the heat is on for us, and the door is unlocked. We got fruits, milk, bread and a departure gift of toffee. The bed is not long for a big person. And we hit our knees on the bed base several times.
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jane (8/5): Very good - Extremely clean and well located property The only small gripe is that the shower was either scalding or freezing- but it’s a small thing - didn’t affect our overall experience
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kimberly (10/5): Fabulous stay. - Excellent location. Very clean home. Amenities great. Might have helped written directions how to turn on shower, pull cord to start it and pull again to turn off power to shower. For us from USA! 🤪😉
- Barry (9/5): Our trip to The Isle of Sky - This property is in a good location to the town and restaurants. It had everything we needed for our time there. The beds comfortable and facilities nice. Nothing to report.
- Simone (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gideon (9/5): Superb stay in Portree - Absolutely fantastic stay in Janet's lovely apartment in Portree. The location is great and is within walking distance to Portree main town. It is a great base for further exploration of isle of Skye. Janet is kind and sweet and the breakfast prepared was an added bonus! Only complaint was the shower, the water pressure was abysmal and it is extremely difficult to get the right temperature, either too hot or cold with minor adjustments
- Kayleen (10/5): Would highly recommend this accommodation and the wonderful hosts for anyone that wanted to establish a base to explore - What an amazing place to stay. The place was exceptional and the hosts could not have been more accommodating. An easy 10min walk to the village centre would recommend to anyone and would stay here again if we made it back to Portree.
- Goda (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Fernando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Belindagordo (6/5): Great location bit lacking in amenities - Location. walking distance to main town and Bars
Welcome basket of breakfast treats.
Communication with owners Shower!!!!! The shower went from scorching hot to freezing cold. the water pressure was barely enough to wash the soap off.
Nothing to cook on. A microwave but no microwave bowls to heat up baked beans or anything in.
Ridiculous rule of not bringing takeaway back to the house. if you cant cook a meal then takeaway is usually what you want next.
the Kitchen/dining/lounge room is all in one and only just big enough for 4 adults to sit in
This place has 2 bedrooms but really only big enough for 2 adults.

- Jan (10/5): This is a nice quiet location with a wonderful hostess. - This is such a comfortable place to stay with friends. It is spotless, too. Janet was always so responsive whenever I sent questions prior to our arrival. She had instant coffee, tea, cereals, fruit, bars, bread, milk, jams, etc. there to make sure we had something we could eat for breakfast. It’s maybe a 10- minute walk to Portree, and we used taxis, too. When we left, Janet sent us off with a delicious bag of caramel fudge that was to die for!
- Laura (10/5): Ideal location as mentioned above. - Location is close enough to Portree centre to walk but not too far away for the local Co-op and going into the hills further north. Nothing. Was all lovely.
- Jackie (10/5): A great location with a lot of space and very nice amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. Lovely! - Plenty of space with a well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. The hosts were very nice! Nothing, everything truly was lovely

- Bernice (10/5): Great for a quick stay in a clean & comfortable unit. - Beautifully clean and all on one level. Comfortable beds & good shower. Helpful & friendly host.

Would love the opportunity to come back and stay again. Thank you Janet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Christine (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you for your kindness. It was fabulous !
- Glossop (10/5): Exceptional - The self contained kitchen didn't have any cooking facility so it wasn't really "self contained". And oddly you couldn't bring hot takeaway back, who knows where you were supposed to eat it.

Perfect spot to enjoy a nice stay and explore the Isle of Skye from. Lots of restaurants in Portree which is in walking distance. Thanks for a great stay.
